Re: this, I did not know there was a bot tracking that! Thanks for reverting the edit and sorry for the trouble. Ed [talk] [OMT] 16:14, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problems at all - it catches us most people at some point! It popped up on my watchlist as I'll be leaving comments in the next day or so. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 16:23, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Re your edit of [[1]], many thanks, but not referencing GC’s two books somewhere is surely an omission (even if cited in the biographies); no one wanting a deeper insight into ED’s early Med experience will want to overlook the former book, and the latter is significant for GC’s obvious continued affection for her. Perhaps these refs can fit in another footnote? Can I also mention that Note 4 makes a ref to GC’s ‘memoir’ but I can’t find it cited anywhere? Thanks again.Riga-to-Rangoon (talk) 17:51, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I said in the edit summary, there are MOS breaches and too much WP:original research to include in any article, let alone a WP:featured article. It also does not help readers gain any understanding of ED. - SchroCat (talk) 18:06, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with SchroCat. The two biographies of ED run to 364 and 484 pages and can accommodate peripheral information of this sort, but in an article of 10,000 words we have to focus as strictly as we can on the essential narrative. Tim riley talk 19:04, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
